Past 2023-2024 concerts

Our final concert of the season on April 13 at First Congregational Church of Boulder was so much fun! We enjoyed playing music evoking the Wild West, and were pleased to host special guests, composer Kirk Vogel and soprano Megan Mellenthien.

Composer Kirk Vogel conducted “Redstone Revel”, dedicated to the musicians of the Lyons (Colorado) Middle/Senior High School Band and Dr. Karen Gregg, Director, on the opening of their new auditorium in 2021. Fun fact: Lyons Sandstone, owned by our principal Horn player and Board President Bernard Buster and his wife Brenda, provided the redstone that was used to build the benches and tables for a gathering area outside the auditorium, and to decorate an interior wall of that very same auditorium!

In the spirit of our “Westward Ho!” concert theme, we thoroughtly enjoyed the photographic display of award-winning photographer Andy Schwartz of Soaring Light Images.

The Flatirons Saxophone Quartet selected just the right music to open our concert.

October 28, 2023 - “Songs of Peace” was a great success, in spite of a last-minute four-inch snowfall.

December 9, 2023 - “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” included a visit by Santa Claus, and more snow and cold. It was our most wonderful concert of the year! Many thanks to all those who helped make it happen.

February 17, 2024 - “Cityscapes” featured a guest appearance from our former director, Dr. Kenneth Singleton, and a (virtual) visit from Godzilla!
